Having problems with your Vivitar ViviCam 5024 Digital Camera ?

The user manual for my Vivicam 5024 says I must install PhoTags Express from a disk. I have no disk and have not installed the program, but I can download photos from my camera to Vivitar Experience Image Manager. In addition I can use its Edit feature on photos downloaded from the WEB, but not on photos from my camera. Do I need PhoTags Express and why?

Answers :

No, you don't need PhoTags. If you're using a memory card, get a card reader. You can use it to download to a folder you create on your desktop. From there, you can do anything you want in the program of your choice.

I have a Sony cybershot DCS-W5. Recently when I have taken photos some of them look as if parts of the shot are double exposed with previous photos or have parts of the same picture mixed up. In addition some shots when previewed on the screen are reduced to a small square and if I try and increase the size I get message 'image size over'. This has only stared happening when I bought a new stick. I have to use an adapter because Sony stick are now smaller than previous types.

Kindly format the mem stick in Laptop or card reader and then format once in Camera menu options thru Format command and then see this actually it seems like file format has corrupted or after u bought this stick new and one more thing if ...

Fine-Pix A400 is showing Focus Error and will not allow photos to be taken. In addition, the lens will not retract when the camera is shut off. This problem occurred after using the zoom procedure several times to obtain close-up shots. The camera has worked perfectly up to this issue. Can you suggest any solution to problem? Many thanks...

Here is a quick fix to try. If you attempted to remove the focus error doing the 3 times on and off, and it didnb't help to this. Power the camera on, you will hear the gear skipping as if it is slipping. Right at the moment you turn of the camera pu ...

Using my Canon XSi/450D, I'm interested in doing High Dynamic Range photography. But I can't discover how to make the automated shutter-speed range multi-shot (3 for the 450D) AEB work. I've gone into the menu and select and change the AEB range ( -2V) and pressed "set." Working from the "AV" in creative mode, I then set up my first shot with focus and ISO, and shoot.
Now what? When I press the shoot button, an ordinary photo is captured, and if I continue to press the button additional cap

Hi there,
I am having the same problem. I have this dark round cicrle on each of my photos weather im outside or inside night or specially at night. I have a D90 nikon and it has a hoood on it and iam not using the additional flash just the build in it goes automatic since I did put it on automatic settings.
Another thing how do I correct the pictures that has the black shadow, since it is made already.
Thank you

A huge possibility, without actually seeing the picture is that it's a shadow caused by the lens hood. The internal flash units are "generally" good for up to about 80mm then the focal length of the lens starts getting in the flash burst, add a hood ...

Blurred edges My Canon Rebel XTi took awesome photos when I first bought it. I let a family member use it and I think the settings must have been changed or something, because now all my photos are blurred on the edges, esp. on the left side of the photo. I always use AF and the blurring occurs no matter what ISO I use. Also, my action shots used to be crisp and clear with no blurring whatsoever. Now they are blurred, doesn't matter if it's night or daylight and no matter what ISO. Is there

Blurring occurs not depending on ISO, i think the lens is the problem. try to clean the lens glass carefully, is there some grease stick on the lens? if not it might be dislocated one of the lens structure.have you try another lens? ...

I cannot upload the photos from my finepix camera (z10). The computer recognises my camera connection but says I have no photos to upload.The photos are there if I take out the memory card and use it to print photos at the pharmacy. The finepix programme on my computer used to upload photos, then it just changed suddenly.Any advice?

You need to uninstall and then re-install the software, a windows update or an improper shut down of your pc probably damaged part of the software. ...

We use our camera for passports, so having the pictures stay in the camera, then hook to camera up to the passport photo printer, is the easiest way to go. Recently, I ended up taking lots of pictures, so I moved the passport photos off of the card and onto the computer. When I was done, I put the passport photos back onto the card (after removing the new photos), but now the camera says there are no pictures, even though I can view them through the computer using the USB cable attatched to the

Because you used the MOVE command, what move does is take it totally off so now you camera lost the location of the file known as play list. Yes it will still be on the memory card but the play list is gone therefore it will be ino ...

Blurry photos THe last few times I have attempted to use my camera I have had two problems. One, each time I turn it on it resets itself as if I have never used it and goes back to the language selection and and I have to reset the date (which I stopped doing because of the inconvenience every time I wanted to take a photo, so now all my photos say January 1, 2000). Also, every time I go to take a photo, the picture is blurry. I have tried to reset the quality, but it's not helping and, admitted

The problem with your camera is not that simple to correct. I can tell you that you can going to the setup menu and do a camera reset and see if that corrects it and if it does then great . I work on these types of cameras all the time and ...

Formatting on the computer or in the camera erases the card. That is not what you want. Use a separate card reader to download the pics (if they still exist) to your computer. If that's successful, then format the card in the camera (not the computer ...

Simple check - point any old Infra-red remote control at the camera. If you see a blue flash from the transmitting end of the remote wand, chances are you may be able to equip and use an infra-red illumination lamp. If there is a tripod mounting hole ...

Canon Power Shot SX10 IS - I've had camera for about 4 months. As of a week ago, I can only use small view finder for taking photos; the 2.5 screen for viewing does not work now. Able to view photos previously taken. When viewing those photos, the ON/OFF light is GREEN, but is ORANGE the rest of the time. HELP!

I take photos with the color pix s210 outside with natural light and the photos come out good, but when I am inside using artificial light the photos come out fuzzy. Is there a setting I can use to correct this issue?

In darker settings your chip will imitate a slower film speed. The aperture will remain open longer (than it would in bright light) to allow enough light in to the light sensitive chip. Small movements of your subjects would show as fuzzi ...

I use iphoto 6.0.6 to import photos into my photo library, but today I plugged in my camera through USB, and iphoto popped up, but didn't show that S220 was plugged in or that there were pictures to import.
